9/4

Much improved since being gelded and fitted with a hood, reappearing to win a 7f Group 3 on the July Course. Fine second in Group 2 company at York Ebor and Doncaster St Leger meetings on his last 2 outings and should give another good account.

Form: 31-1622

7/4

Better than ever at 5, winning 2 listed races and a Haydock Group 3 (all 1m). Another good run when ½-length third of 6 to Mutasaabeq in Joel here (1m again) 14 days ago. What he does need to prove is that he's as effective over 7f as he was below par when third over that trip at Newbury in August.

12/1

Smart gelding who has won 3 times this year, the highlight being the Group 3 Desmond at Leopardstown in August. Bit below form 6¾ lengths fourth in listed race at Cork (1m, soft) 17 days ago. Has something to find on form.

2/1

Smart front-running filly who posted a big career best when dominating a 7f Group 3 for fillies and mares at Doncaster last month. More on her plate against the boys now but this former course scorer could still make a bold bid.

Forecasts

Chindit (7/4), Matilda Picotte (2/1), Audience (9/4), Shouldvebeenaring (3/1), Pogo (8/1), Lord Massusus (12/1)

AUDIENCE is taken to cap an excellent season by adding this Group 2 to the Group 3 he won on the July Course in midsummer. With slight doubts over whether Chindit is fully effective over 7f it could be that Shouldvebeenaring and Matlida Picotte give the selection most to do.
